Penile Adherence....

ok my son has had a penile adherence (you know, where his foreskin re-sticks) anyway, this has happened like three times, maybe more. The doctor rips it back and I put vaseline on for a few weeks. Well last time it happened, I put vaseline on for two MONTHS and I just noticed that its restuck now. Am I doing something wrong? I'm worried maybe the doctor didn't take off enough skin! my worst nightmare is him having to be recut! anyone with experience or even know what I'm talking about?? help!!

Both my sons have this issue. My oldest is 2 1/2. We get it to heal and then bam. It's not as bad now though and he won't even let us clean his penis anymore. So they remember the pain associated with it.

I'm not sure if your son is circumcised or not, but you should never retract an uncircumcised baby's foreskin. Our son is intact and the doctor said to clean the outside, but there is no need to retract to clean.

Your supposed to clean and pull back till you see the rim of the head with every diaper change. It will continuously get attached if you just pull a little bit so when you go back to doctor they say that you have to pull back further. Hth.

Eeeks! I'm so glad that we didn't circumsize because I don't have to do any of this. And I can't imagine having to put LO through it twice. That sucks! Just curious why you have to pull back the foreskin? I thought that circumsizion removed the foreskin. ???

Have you tried like rotating the way his business sits in his diaper? There is Susposed to be extra skin so they can grow into it. One of my girlfriends had this issue with her son. Maybe try coconut oil instead of vasoline
